The Robert Benchley Society Award finalists were announced last week, an
award given yearly and which is judged by Dave Barry. As a longtime
Benchley fan (and someone who's looking for some input on [[Robert
Benchley]] the article, for a shameless pre-FA plug), you might enjoy
one author's take on Wikipedia:

For those who may not find this entirely humorous, it's because you're
simply unfunny. Or, conversely, the essays/short stories are designed
to be written in the style of Robert Benchley, an admittedly acquired
but quite wonderful taste.
But yes. In case you were wondering what, exactly, those border collies
were up to, now you know.

because you kind of get the impression she
sang every song either about or to her cats.
They seem to be the driving force in most of
her creative process." - Chuck Klosterman
